Yes, Justin scored another TOUCHDOWN today! It was an amazing play - he caught a punt at the 30 yard line, shrugged off one or two opponents and then ran the ball directly into the end zone untouched. It was a thing of beauty - just like something you see on ESPN highlights. Unfortunately however, the Demons still only managed to tie the other team (who apparently had lost all previous games this season, so they celebrated as though it was a win for them). They really should have won as the refs took away a beautiful touchdown from Justin's teammate due to a very bad call (one of many this day, don't get me started). I am hoping we can get a video clip from one of the other parents and if I do I will post it here. It was amazing!




The Scorpions' defense played very well today but their offense couldn't get it together and they lost once again. Eric is tired of sitting on the sidelines and can't wait to get back in the game - hopefully in two weeks. There are no games next week due to the holiday.

Tonight Terry and Justin went to the ASU-UCLA football game with Jus' coach and his sons. Our friends Jim & Kathy (gosh I love them!) asked me to join them at dinner at a new place called Rotelli's (Italian). It was pretty good Italian food for Arizona, but not like what I could get in New York. Our favorite Italian restaurant out here is 100% authentic - Marianne & Richie's. I can't find a website for it anywhere but it's a well-kept secret.

Tomorrow - actually the next few days - will be preparation for Thanksgiving. Fortunately I'm only working Monday & Tuesday this week so all day Wednesday will be spent on cleaning and food prep. I love the holidays, but they're a lot of work!

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Image
Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Image
Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
